Attaching Driod X to Bicycle

[cclarke]

I am looking to attach my Droid X to my Bicycle.  I had a Cycle Computer, but I have good apps and want to be able to see my time, speed, etc.  Do you know of any thing to attach the phone to the handle bar?

@ Curtterp them some cool bicycle accessories for the X the only thing is if pay more attention to the X an not the Bike path a Culvert collision can kind of hurt.   But i wished i had that accessorie when i had my Giant Moutain Bicycle.  as they would've made for a great pair.

Tim Allen of Home Improvement fame would say, "If nothing else works, you can 'duct  it'."  (as in duct tape)

look for motorcycle mounts, they fit 1" bar

or check into ram mounts, they should have something generic if all alse fails

It would be great if a solar-powered charger were available for phones used for this purpose. Battery life is tough enough on these smart phones, constant GPS and location services on a bicycle would be really short. At least, carry a fully-charged (naturally) battery along just in case.

Ahh, that's right, Dinc, I forgot about those little ol' generators! It's been 40 years since I've been on  a bike, so they slipped my mind. For cyclists that are riding a good ways and for a pretty long time, that could be the ticket, if such a thing were available.

(and yes, and my age and shape, a bicycle would probably be a good thing..
